Abstract: A bubble-removing apparatus for removing bubbles entrained in a liquid
efficiently. This apparatus has a main body wherein a cylindrical inflow
space, an inverted conical space and a little cylincrical outflow space are
formed. An inflow port which opens to the inflow space and an outflow port
which opens to the outflow space, are provided in a tangential diection of
the inflow space and the outflow space, respectively. A discharge outlet of
bubbles is provided at an upper portion of the inflow space. Between the
discharge outlet and the inflow space, a valve chamber is provided, and in
this valve chamber, a cylinder having a through hole is provided. Into this
cylinder, a cap-like float having an upper plate and a cylindrical wall is
fitted. When bubbles are stored in a predetermined amount in the inflow
space, this float is raised by the internal pressure, opens the through hole
and discharges only bubbles from the discharge outlet.

Abstract: A system for anonymous trading of securities and continuously matching buyers with
sellers maintains a database (4) of buyer and seller profiles (6, 8). Each profile is a matrix
of values defining the satisfaction density value for each element in an array that plots
price against size of trade. The values range between 0 for a forbidden deal (no
satisfaction) to 1 for the preferred quantity and price of the deal. The profiles are created
by traders using their own input devices (16,18,20). A trader may enter a profile directly
or a trader's CPU (10, 12, 14) may generate them from other inputs. A central matching
controller (2) computes a mutual satisfaction cross product for each pair of buy/sell
profiles for the same stock and matches the buyers and sellers in the order in which the
cross products rank. The process is carried out in a sequence of three cycles. In the first
two cycles different priority rules are used. During the third cycle synthetic profiles are
generated from the available profiles and the matching process is carried out using these
profiles. This type of synthetic profile matching can be carried out independently.

Abstract: An optics module (150) for a scanning device (110) such as a portable scanner
includes an illumination source (160) and guide (162) that transmits light through an
optical window (164) of the scanning device casing (122) before reflecting off of the
object (114) to be scanned. The reflected light from the object travels back through the
optical window (164, 364) and a lens (166) before reaching a photosensor (168) for
evaluation by an associated microprocessor (158). The optical window (164) of the
scanning device (110) provides a recess (165, 365) in the scanning device casing (122).
The recess (165, 365) of the window (164, 364) is formed using the functional
components of the optics module (150) to eliminate a piece of glass typically used within
the optical window that can be easily scratched or broken and provides a loss during the
illumination process. By using the functional components of the optics module (150) to
form the recessed optical window (165, 365), manufacturing costs to secure and replace
a typical glass window contained therein can be eliminated, size of the optics module
(150) is reduced, and any contaminates that gather around the optics module window
(150) can be easily removed by the user.
